Try giving qmail-send and ALRM signal, and watch the logs to see if they
might be getting deferred. Do you know if any messages are getting out? I
have never seen that many messages get "stuck" in the queue

I am unsure about the reason for it's failure. I guess I was just lucky to
inherit the problem... ;^) There are no log files regarding this. The
files are readable. ex:
machine# more 143099
u0^@p15606^@[EMAIL PROTECTED]^@[EMAIL PROTECTED]^@
machine#
is in both intd and todo.
machine# ./qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 115248
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 549
when I run 'qmail-send' it just sits there and does not send any of the
files out...
I apologize for being clueless here but I have never dealt with qmail
before and this was dumped into my lap...
Thanks again.
